Finnegans Wake shall be hosted from Sweny’s this evening at 7pm.Participants in Sweny’s and on Zoom will read the last few pages from Book 3 Chapter 2:“A dream of favours, a favourable dream. They know how they believe that they believe that they know. Wherefore they wail.” And then move on to Yawn’s inquest in Book 3 Chapter 3:“LOWLY, longly, a wail went forth. Pure Yawn lay low. On the mead of the hillock lay, heartsoul dormant mid shadowed landshape, brief wallet to his side, and arm loose, by his staff of citron briar, tradition stick-pass-on.

Is it aggravating them to ask them to abide by the law? Well, I’ll be damned if the blighters don’t refuse point-blank to sign. It’s Donnelly who’s put them up to it, an old fellow with no teeth… “What’s the meaning of this, Donnelly?” I ask him. “Ah sure,” says he, “we’d be in danger.” “In danger from who?” He can’t tell me the answer to that one. “You’d never know,’’ he says. “Well, Donnelly, I can tell you,” I said to him, “if you don’t sign it quick sharp you’ll be in danger from me!” Massive and imposing, Edward punctuated his explanation with sharp jabs of the hoe. ...
